Ignacy Jan Paderewski

Norman Rockwell

Quotes On Art Is My Life #1411711
#88. The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

John Geddes

Alfred Stieglitz

Quotes On Art Is My Life #1527094

Art Alexakis

Quotes On Art Is My Life #1544858
#96. I buy art in order to live with it at home or in the office, never to store it away in a vault. In fact, living with art has been one of the great joys of my life. It is a private pleasure, however, and not one that I have an urge to inflict on other people.
